Job Title: Night Shift Trade Operations Executive – Import/Export (Metals Trading)
Company: Solis Corporation LLP
Location: Goregaon East, Mumbai (Work From Home option available)
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Shift: Night Shift, 8:00 PM – 4:00 AM IST, Monday to Friday
About the Company
Solis Corporation LLP is the Indian operations arm of Solis Pacific Recycling Ltd, a New Zealand-based, third-generation non-ferrous metals trading company operating across 40+ countries. Our trade network spans the US, UK, Europe, Australia, Canada, India, and Southeast Asia.
About the Role
We are hiring an experienced trade operations professional for our night desk — covering the Western hemisphere business day (North America and Europe) while our day team is offline. You will independently handle supplier coordination, shipping documentation, and deal tracking during your shift.
This role requires someone who already knows the import/export business. You will be the sole point of contact for the company during your shift, making judgment calls and managing live situations with suppliers, freight forwarders, and banks — without supervision. We are not looking to train someone from scratch.
Key Responsibilities
Trading & Supplier Coordination:
- Communicate with suppliers in the US, Europe, Canada, and Australia on loading schedules, material availability, and booking confirmations
- Coordinate with freight forwarders on cargo bookings and shipping instructions
- Follow up on pre-shipment documentation: packing lists, weight confirmations, and pre-alerts
- Track and update container and shipment details in internal systems
Operations & Documentation:
- Prepare and review shipping documents: bill of lading drafts, commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of analysis
- Coordinate documentary collection packages for Indian buyers
- Liaise with banks on document submissions, discrepancies, and payment follow-ups
- Handle buyer communication on documentation queries, arrival ETAs, and port updates
- Support regulatory compliance documentation for purchases from the EU, UK, and other regulated markets
Night Shift Duties:
- Monitor and respond to incoming emails from global suppliers, freight partners, and buyers
- Draft and dispatch follow-up and escalation emails independently
- Prepare an end-of-shift handover note for the day team each morning
- Flag urgent issues (payment delays, cargo holds, documentation gaps) immediately
Requirements
- Minimum 2–3 years of hands-on experience in import/export operations, shipping, freight forwarding, or international trade documentation
- Working knowledge of shipping documents: bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of analysis
- Experience dealing with international shipping lines (Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, etc.) and/or freight forwarders
- Familiarity with shipping line portals and container tracking systems
- Strong written English — you will communicate with global counterparts independently
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Gmail)
- High attention to detail — documentation errors in this business have real financial consequences
- Ability to work independently through the night with minimal supervision
- Willing to commit to a permanent night shift schedule
Preferred
- Experience in metals, commodities, or scrap trading
- Exposure to documentary collections (CAD) or bank document handling
- Prior experience working with US/European counterparts across time zones
